Born in Germany, Dietmar Krumrey immigrated to America with his family at the age of three. After living in the Chicago area, they moved to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan where Dietmar developed his deep affection and respect for wildlife so evident in his art. After training at the American Academy of Art in Chicago, he was employed as an artist for Hallmark in Kansas City before leaving to freelance. Dietmar returned to the Upper Peninsula to live and paint near the forest and lakes which inspire his work.
Extensively known for his realist approach, exactness for detail and feeling for the actual essence of life, Dietmar captures the very heart of wildlife art.
His works are included in many private collections across the country and he has exhibited in such prestigious shows as the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Show, the Smithsonian Institute, the National Wildlife Art Exhibit in Kansas City, the Wildlife Festival in Tulsa, the Southeastern Wildlife Exposition in Charleston and the Waterfowl Festival in Easton, Maryland.
